Traveller notes

Airport pickup
Dhaka activates at the gate on Grameenphone, Robi or Banglalink. Grameenphone has the widest reach; check which one the plan uses.
Hotspot and calls
Allowed on most plans. Family homes and smaller hotels often have no usable Wi-Fi, so budget data for the whole stay rather than just the days out.
Where the network is weak
Dhaka, Chattogram and Sylhet are fine. The Sundarbans, the river launches and the beach stretches beyond Cox's Bazar town drop to 2G or nothing.
Local SIM alternative
A Grameenphone tourist SIM from the airport counter needs passport and biometric registration but is far cheaper per GB, and bKash needs a local number. For a family visit over two weeks, buy one on day two; the eSIM covers arrival.

Paying from India or Pakistan

Providers take Visa and Mastercard. Indian debit cards need international use enabled and carry a 2 to 3.5% forex markup; UPI and RuPay-only cards are not accepted. Pakistani cards need international transactions enabled at the bank, sit under the annual dollar limit, and carry a 3 to 4% markup; JazzCash and Easypaisa are not accepted. Apple Pay and Google Pay work where your card does.

Allowed on most plans. Family homes and smaller hotels often have no usable Wi-Fi, so budget data for the whole stay rather than just the days out.

Will my Indian or Pakistani card work to buy an eSIM?

How much data do I need for 10 days in Bangladesh?

For normal use, maps, WhatsApp, social media and a few video calls, budget about 0.7 GB per day, so around 7 GB for 10 days. Heavy users who stream or hotspot should double that.

When should I install the eSIM?

Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly and keep it switched off until you land. Dhaka activates at the gate on Grameenphone, Robi or Banglalink. Grameenphone has the widest reach; check which one the plan uses.
